I am very happy to return to Catalonia, to Barcelona, where almost two years ago I was able to learn about the very important task that the foundation does. Now, when young people need to be heard more than ever, the foundation's work is even more relevant.
If providing opportunities to the younger generations is a duty that always compromises any society, the pandemic and its consequences make it even more necessary. For this, I want to thank all of you who work and who support them with enthusiasm. Also to those who, with their commitment and dedication, make it possible to discover and enhance the talent of youth.
Catalonia has always been a benchmark in initiative, creativity and entrepreneurship. Especially among young people, who represent these qualities and, as we have seen this afternoon, they are the key to our progress. And for me, as princess of Girona, it is a pride to see how our foundation advances year after year in its work towards these objectives. And see how it consolidates itself as an authentic guide for those of us who are beginning our journey.
The spirit of our foundation is born from the union of energies between different generations that, together, form our society and seek the progress of all. It is born from our experience, from the work and from the advice of those who precede us and it is also born from the illusion, responsibility and commitment of young people.
In the toughest moments of the pandemic, that commitment was demonstrated. We saw many young people from all over Spain helping children with homework, shopping for their elderly neighbors, calling sick and lonely people on the phone, writing letters to those in the ICU, raising funds to buy medical supplies and even printing them on 3D.
The images that we have seen show that many collaborated and continue to do so as much as they could. They are samples of generosity that reflect that responsibility and their commitment to the present. I also want to thank those of you who are accompanying us today in Barcelona and those of you who follow us via streaming. It is a joy to share with you this day in which we present the prizes of the Princess of Girona Foundation. Especially after not being able to do it last year.
To the ten winners, I congratulate you, your effort and talent deserve all the recognition and the values that you represent are very necessary, especially for my generation.
Effort, solidarity, enthusiasm, capacity for initiative and self-improvement. All of this defines you and helps you improve and improve us all as a society.
Tomorrow is being built with today's work, and you are already doing it. Young people are the energy that drives this transformation.
Thank you very much, thank you very much. - "Muchas gracias, moltas gracias."
